i've never considered myself yellow. it's the only description availible, but i don't care for it. (despised is too harsh a word.)

not only does it make us sound jaundiced, but cowardly.

I don't think of those things when I think of yellow. As far as I know only Americans call someone yellow if they are a coward.

No, but they're yellow. Funnily enough, the chinese in The Simpsons are light yellow.

q cubed, it's the same for all

whites aren't really white (thank god for that!), blacks aren't black and "yellows" aren't yellow.

Skin colors are a lot more varied than different shades of brown, Gangerolf.

sure, but no-one is 100% white or 100% black or 100% Simpsons yellow either.

Besides, there can be thousands of different shades of brown, ranging from very light to nearly black. I guess it depends on what you define as brown or a shade of brown..

Agreed. If they were, they certainly wouldn't look human.

There can also be many shades of yellow/orange/red. I have even seen greenish shades on the odd occasion (no, they weren't seasick ).

you get the drift. This will eliminate racism.
There used to be laws like that in Paraguay.

Diss just wants to get laid...

I don't think anyone of any real worth today has any problem with interracial relations. It's an old taboo perpetuated by hate groups and old people.

There are Mexicans (and a lot of them) with every sort of ethnic influence, from Yanqui to all over Europe to African, middle eastern (Salma Hayek for one), Asian, etc. Even the near-purely indigenous people range from fair skin, light haired northern desert Indians to very dark tropical Indians. I see native Mexicans who are more "whitey" than I am.

Any racial or ethnic lines are just a generalization.

Don't even have to wait that long. Just skin 'em alive.

Besides, they're pretty multi-colored when they're rotting.

His mother is half Spanish I don't know if that made a difference
